I'm having alittle trouble getting my dual carbs dialed in, the 1st is rich, and the second is lean. My fuel pump was putting out 3.5psi, but the guy I bought my carbs from said I should run 2.6psi instead. What do you guys think?
I've got 60 idle jets and 180 mains, which I thought was overkill, until he told me that I should run 2.6 instead of 3.5 psi. |

I'm still fighting this thing, and am ready to pull my hair out.
I've replace what I thought was the problem (new intakes) - but that made no difference. So, I've removed the top of my carb, and am attempting to set the float level. My Dell book tells how in a general way, but does not list a specific distance they should be from the top. Here is a video if you don't mind looking: Video of my Dellorto floats Also, when covering up the 2nd carb, I can still hear a sucking sound, like there is a leak, even though I've replace the intakes, and made certain to really crank the bolts down. plug 1 looks fine, plug 2 is black and sooty. Pulling either plug 1 or 2, while the engine is running doesn't make a huge difference (to the idle sound - I didn't try reving the engine). I've purchased, but not installed the new fuel pump yet. I wanted to set the float level, and replace the intake first. |
